PROTECTING MULTIPLE WINDOWS WITH
WIRELESS COMPATIBLE SENSORS
In many installations it is desirable to protect rooms with several windows. This
can be accomplished economically using one transmitter and a wireless compatible
acoustic sensor.
Sentrol’s Wireless ShatterPro acoustic glassbreak sensor combines excellent false
alarm immunity and consistent detection with wireless compatibility. The Wireless
ShatterPro has a coverage radius of 20 ft. (6.1 m), [40 ft. (12.2 m) diameter] if
ceiling mounted. A single sensor, therefore, can typically protect an entire room.
Mount the transmitter inside the back box of the Wireless ShatterPro 5845, which
hides the transmitter and provides an integrated look. If desired, the transmitter
can also be mounted next the sensor module on the bracket included.
Note: The sensor shares the transmitter battery, which may reduce battery life by
up to 50%. Since other devices are likely to need battery replacement before the
Wireless ShatterPro, this is rarely a problem.
Position the Wireless ShatterPro anywhere in the room except within the frame.
The best location for detection is directly opposite the glass. Since wireless sensor
placement is not determined by wire routing, opposite wall mounting is a more
practical option than with hard wire installations.
Verify sensor range and placement with the 5709C hand-held tester.
For glass areas smaller than 10 sq. ft. (3 sq. m) use the Sentrol’s Wireless
ShatterSwitch 5741. For forced open protection as well, use the 5742 with built-in
reed switch. For glass areas larger than 10 sq. ft., or for an integrated appearance,
use the Wireless ShatterPro 5845.
